It's about damn time we treat the housing crisis like a legitimate crisis, diverting more of our national resources to solving it directly, repealing the Faircloth Amendment, prioritizing public housing, creating regulatory fast lanes, adopting a humane, Housing First approach.

Since 1999, HUD's budget has more than doubled, and yet, affordable supply has fallen well short of demand, rents have skyrocketed, and homelessness has risen 80%.

That's because, like most things, we turned affordable housing into a profit enterprise, paying more for less.

The Citizens United decision corrupted our government to work for billionaires and special interests. Luckily, you still have a choice in who you give your vote and donations. Do your homework and make sure you’re supporting candidates who work for you, not special interests.

For $20B, the U.S. could effectively eradicate homelessness. This almost perfectly mirrors what we spend to police & brutalize unhoused Americans every year.

Anyways, here is Trump spending 2X that bailing out billionaires who went bust betting on an anarcho-capitalist in Argentina.

In the first 2 months of this campaign, crisscrossing a huge district, speaking in rooms big and small, one thing is undeniable: The working class is restless, angry, and activated.

It's time to stop fighting each other over scraps and start working together to flip some f---ing tables.

Literally nothing coming from the Pentagon, DHS, or DOJ should be considered credible unless backed up by an independent source outside of government. (This, for the record, is a huge problem!)
